  Experimental fork of homebrew for PPC Macs on Tiger

pkgsrc also runs on other platforms, like NetBSD and illumos, so it has a better chance to work on old versions of macOS. Around 2018, I put pkgsrc on an old PowerPC Mac running the obsolete Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, and built a few packages. (I didn't use Joyent's Intel packages, and I didn't know the PowerPC packages at http://sevan.mit.edu/. I also didn't know Tigerbrew.)
